Reviews Elsewhere – Being Julia
I found this review and also learned a bit about a disorder I wasn’t really familiar with before, so I thought I would share it with you all.
I’ll let the description written by Steph’s Two Girls tell you more about the book:
This is the story of Julia Daunt, an adult diagnosed with Pathological Demand Avoidance, ADHD and psychotic episodes.
Co-written with Ruth Fidler, a well-known independent education consultant with many years experience in the field of PDA, Julia’s memoir covers life from a very young age right up until recent times. The book includes many examples of school and social experiences, with some earlier memories being provided by Julia’s mum and old school reports.
If you’re looking for some good examples of living with PDA, it seems like this book might be a great resource for you.
